Those of you who are members of the American Economic Association recently received an email with several announcements. Here are some that might particularly appeal to readers of this blog.

The AEA's 2018 Continuing Education Program will be held at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown on
January 7-9, 2018, immediately following the close of ASSA. Participants can
choose from three concurrent programs. Topics and speakers will include Mechanism
Design - Atila Abdulkadiroglu (Duke), Nikhil Agarwal (MIT), and Parag
Pathak (MIT); Machine Learning and Econometrics - Guido Imbens
(Stanford) and Susan Athey (Stanford); and DSGE Models and the Role
of Finance - Lawrence Christiano (Northwestern) and Thomas
Philippon (NYU). Registration opens September 12th. For more information and
updates see https://www.aeaweb.org/conference/cont-ed/.

Beginning in 2018, selected papers from the AEA Annual Meeting
will be published in May each year as a standalone journal titled AEA
Papers and Proceedings and will no longer be the May issue of the American
Economic Review. For more information, see https://www.aeaweb.org/journals/pandp.
